I guess you are right.. i just wanted my hook_menu_alter to help me out here but turns out that it cannot support dynamic titles.. I can always replace "View" by "Take a look" from the hook but dynamic part does not work.. Plus it would have been good if menu would not get cached by default.. <div>

Hey.. that looks to me a perfectly valid way. You could try and use the 'themer' module from the devel family to check how else that can be done. A preprocess function in the template file is not a bad way either. I dont see you triming and adding an ellipsis in your code.<br>

Ok, so a bad way is to write the following code in your template.php<div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to change the title of the menu item "View" on a node page.. I want to change the tab name to be the title of the node (with an ellipsis if it goes beyond a limit).. This means the title of the tab here will be dynamic.. I've tried using hook_menu_alter and tried to change the title of the menu item 'node/%node/view' with some code.. I tried 3 ways -- one, get the title using a query with arg(1), two, by page_get_title, and 3 by menu_get_object to get the respective node and then the title.. None of the approaches has worked for me.. If you guys know a quick solution, that would be wonderful.. I dont want to change it via tpl for sure..</div>
<div><br></div><div>PS: I've also tried hook_menu_link_alter but it did not work<br clear="all"><br>Cheers,<br>Mukesh<br>
